How do labels keep my family safe?

Labels can assist families to manage Internet access and the Internet content that children are viewing online.

Though no substitute for supervision and education, labels can prevent:

  • Exposure to inappropriate material
  • Viewing unreliable or misleading information
  • Communication with strangers and potential Internet predators
  • Access to unsuitable Internet services
